Probably the best source for events in the Monmouth Rebellion is Wade's Narrative - written shorty after the Rebellion by one of Monmouth's most able officers Nathaniel Wade. I have scanned the pages dealing with the skirmishes at Keynsham and Philipsnorton (Norton St Philip)

D01 - The Jacobite Infantry of the Siege of Derry
D02 - The Jacobite Cavalry and Artillery of the Siege of Derry
D03 - The Defenders of Derry
D04 - The Battle of Pennyburn Mill
D05 - The Battle of Windmill Hill

Episode 1

France,
1667. Proud young Louis XIV seeks to stamp his authority on court and
country but faces resistance and betrayal, even from those closest to
him. Shifting the seat of power to a luxurious rural 'lodge' that he
plans to enlarge only adds to his problems.

I haven't seen this as I don't watch tv but people have been talking about this and as it's still possible to watch Episode 1 I thought I'd feature it. Let me know if there are any battle scenes
